Jean Louis Cabanis
Jean Louis Bennoit Cabanis (born March 8, 1816 in Berlin , † February 20, 1906 in Friedrichshagen ) was a German ornithologist .
Live and act
Jean Louis Bennoit Cabanis was born as the son of the wallpaper manufacturer Jean Louis Bennoit Cabanis and his wife Auguste Marie Charlotte. Fahland was born in Berlin on March 8, 1816 . Cabanis studied from 1835 to 1839 at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität Berlin . He then went to North America , from where he returned to Berlin in 1841 and brought back a large collection of natural history finds. Then he was initially employed by the Museum of Natural History . He later became director there, succeeding Martin Lichtenstein . He worked for the Zoological Museum for more than 50 years, from 1841 to 1892.
In 1853 he founded the Journal for Ornithology , of which he was editor for 41 years. Then he was replaced by his son-in-law Anton Reichenow .
Honors and commemorations
Some ornithologists named a taxon after Cabanis . These include:
- The Cabanis bunting ( Emberiza cabanisi ) (Reichenow, 1875)
- The Eastern Thicket Knickers ( Synallaxis cabanisi ) ( Berlepsch & Leverkuhn , 1890)
- The Cabanis-Tangare ( Tangara cabanisi ) ( Sclater, PL , 1868)

- The Schwarzkopfspätzling ( Pseudonigrita cabanisi ) ( Fischer & Reichenow, 1884)
- Cabanis thrush ( Turdus plebejus ) Cabanis, at least in its common name in 1861
- Cabanis weaver ( Ploceus intermedius ) Rüppell , 1845
- Subspecies of the Cabanis weaver ( Ploceus intermedius cabanisii ) ( Peters, WKH , 1868) for which the common name Cabanis's Masked Weaver exists.
- Subspecies of the golden-cocked wood warbler ( Basileuterus culicivorus cabanisi ) Berlepsch, 1879 for which the common name Cabanis's Warbler also exists in English .
- Subspecies of the great spotted woodpecker ( Dendrocopos major cabanisi ) ( Malherbe , 1854)
- Subspecies of the golden beak hop ( Rhinopomastus minor cabanisi ) ( Filippi , 1853)
- Subspecies of squirrel cuckoo ( Piaya cayana cabanisi ) Allen , 1893
- Subspecies of the green fisherman ( Chloroceryle americana cabanisii ) ( Tschudi , 1846)
- Subspecies of the eye-stripe flycatcher ( Cnemotriccus fuscatus cabanisi ) ( Léotaud , 1866)
- Andean dark tyrant subspecies ( Knipolegus signatus cabanisi ) Schulz , 1882
- Subspecies of the white-cheeked bunting ( Melozone biarcuata cabanisi ) (PL Sclater & Salvin , 1868)

- Shalov turaco subspecies ( Tauraco livingstonii cabanisi ) (Reichenow, 1883)
However, the South American Classification Committee has categorized Poospiza cabanisi as a separate species. Some authors also believe that Melozone cabanisi is a species of its own. Knipolegus cabanisi is also found in the literature as a separate species, but the South American Classification Committee has so far rejected this categorization.
Descriptions
Cabanis has scientifically described a large number of bird taxa alone or with other authors . Together with Charles Lucien Jules Laurent Bonaparte , he described the genus Stenostira in 1850 . In collaboration with Ferdinand Heine, he also described numerous genera, species and subspecies. The description of the subspecies of the Rainbow Lorikeet ( Trichoglossus haematodus flavicans ) goes back to a collaboration with Anton Reichenow . Alone he has described, among other things, the species forest wren ( Henicorhina leucosticta ), scale- coat ant guard ( Hylophylax poecilinotus ) and eye-ring broad-billed tyrant ( Rhynchocyclus brevirostris ) as well as the genera Poospiza , Baeolophus and Cichlopsis .
